Practices began Monday for all high school fall sports, which includes football, volleyball, girls tennis, boys soccer and cross country.

MHS will host a fall sports preview for all Bullpup fans Aug. 29 at McPherson College, with scrimmages scheduled for the soccer, volleyball and football teams.

The preview will be held at McPherson College, both at McPherson Stadium and the McPherson College Sport Center, beginning at 4 p.m. with the Drive One 4UR School event courtesy of the MHS Booster Club.

Admission to the preview is a free-will donation of non-perishable food or cash that will go towards the McPherson County Food Bank courtesy of the MHS student council.

As part of the preview, MHS will also begin selling reserved seats for the varsity football games. The seats, 210 in total, are located just below the press box on the north side of the center isle, or from the 50-yard line to the 30-yard line.

The cost is $43 per seat, with discounts available for senior citizens or complimentary passes at $38. For those USD 418 employees and retired staff members, the cost is $15 a seat, limited to the number of immediate family (spouse, minor children). Proof of pass and/or employment by USD 418 is required at the time of purchase.

Seats will be on sale at the Bullpup Fall Preview from 5 to 7:20 p.m. and will be available for purchase afterwards in the MHS activities office beginning Sept. 2 through Sept. 11, or while supplies last.

Reserved tickets may be purchased at the activities office between 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

No additional seats or season passes will be sold after Sept. 11. MHS has five home games this season, with the first Sept. 12 against Andale.
